You gotta do what you gotta do …


Augrey: Aaargh! [hanging up phone] Hey Blob, do you have any “connections” in the underworld?

Blob: Maaaaybe … what do you need?

Augrey: I need someone to put a contractor into some cement shoes.

Blob: Uhm … that sounds like something you need to work out directly with my “connection”.
[turning to address the other people sitting in the studio]
Listen up … Here’s a tip for you guys – Never be the middle man when it comes to organizing a professional hit, that makes you a “loose” end.

Smorgan: … a second tip would be – don’t talk about a hiring a professional hit in a room full of other people.


The names of the “Augrey”, “Blob”, and “Smorgan” have been changed to protect them from nail-gun wielding contractors bent on revenge
